Anna Karenina

Leo Tolstoy
Next to Effi Briest and Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina is the most famous adulteress of world literature. Happily married to a high-ranking official, the enchanting, clever and gentle Anna falls prey to young officer Count Wronski. A passionate affair that she does not hide from her husband or from society takes its course in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Re-read it! I do this every two years, it's a perfect novel about imperfection.
